League One Archives - We Are Going Up

Two defeats in twenty-two league games with only twenty goals conceded, stretching back to last season, underlines the progress that Lee Johnson has overseen at Oldham Athletic. Whilst the end of last season was based around trying to pick up points to stave off relegation, this season has seen the…

Three months down the line from one of the greatest escapes in modern football, and we are ready to begin all over again. The Football League is due to kick off this weekend, for another 46 games (and let’s not forget the various cup competitions and the play-offs) that will…

“The point of training is to increase the speed at which one can be precise”. Swindon’s manager Mark Cooper might not equal Cesar Luis Menotti as an ideology of pass and move but this season he could be haunted by the Argentine’s words. It isn’t that Cooper’s time with his…

‘It was the right time to move on – some people have been here too long.’ Darragh MacAnthony, speaking about Gabby Zakuani after he left the club for Greek side FC Kalloni in a very frank interview on 3rd April. Fast-forward through a miserable defeat over two-legs to Leyton Orient…
